Instant messenger automatically signs me out, and says it was because "I was signed in by some other device or computer". I do not understand this. How do I change this,so it will stop signing me out?

You should say WHICH messenger. If it is Yahoo, I don't have an answer for you. If it is MSN messenger, micosoft has another program called Windows Messenger that most of the time signs on automatic. This can be seen in Add / Remove programs (Windows programs on the left) You can't remove it, delete it... nuttin! You can't even rename the .exe file so it won't start. You can see the folder in C:/ Program files. Anyway, when you sign into MSN messenger, it signs you out of Net Messenger and a small blue popup tells you that. (near the clock) Since you didn't tell me what you are talking about, that's all the help I can give trying to read your mind.

Mine used to do the same thing.....you obviously used it on another computer and saved your password. While the user of that computer may not be using your login to IM, it is still signing you in, which bumps you off. Change your password, and the next time the other computer tries to log in, it won't be able to. That's what I did and haven't had it happen to me since!

Go change your password right now! I got that message in the past when my ex knew my password and was signing in from his house on my account. If you sign in on a 2nd computer it will sign you out of one.

Maybe someone has gotten hold of your password, and they're signing on as you on a different computer. Change your password and see if it helps.

Somebody has your account information and is signing in with your account. You may want to delete this account and get a new one.

usaully that happens when your logged in in more than one place
like if you were at home and signed on and then left to work or something leaving yourself signed in at home
then at work tried to sign in its telling you that it is signing you off at home cause now you are logged at work.

properly feels like your boyfriend or female chum has logged into your account someplace or in all likelihood someone stole your identity, replace your bypass word oftentimes or use yet another talk board.

It means your ISP or work assigned you to another IP address. I have this happen all the time at work.
